    Abstract Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) is a temperature sensitive plant and suffers from chilling injury (CI), especially during the postharvest storage. We investigated the effect of additional far-red light (FR) during cultivation at two temperatures on postharvest chilling tolerance. Basil was cultivated under red-white Light Emitting Diodes (LED) at 25 °C. During the last 3 weeks before harvest, plants were maintained at a high temperature (25 ºC) or exposed to a low temperature (15 ºC). Furthermore, plants were exposed to additional FR (180 µmol m⁻² s⁻¹) for different durations (0, 1 or 3 weeks). After harvest, leaves were stored at 4 and 12 ºC in darkness. Overall visual quality and maximum quantum yield of PS II (Fv/Fm) as indicators of chilling injury were monitored every third day for 15 d. Abscisic acid (ABA) and jasmonic acid (JA), carbohydrates, and antioxidants were measured at harvest and after 9 d of storage at 4 °C. Additional FR improved the chilling tolerance at both cultivation temperatures. Cultivation temperature had no effect on postharvest chilling tolerance. Hormone levels in basil leaves at harvest were not affected by FR. This indicates that ABA and JA are not involved in development of FR-induced chilling tolerance in basil. FR had no effect on the levels of antioxidants at harvest whereas the levels of soluble sugars and starch increased under additional FR. The positive effect of adding FR during cultivation on chilling tolerance in basil may be due to the increase in soluble sugars and starch.

    Abstract Stem cuttings are used in the commercial cultivation of many crops, including medicinal cannabis, to produce large numbers of uniform and genetically identical plants. Light is an important environmental factor determining the success of the rooting of stem cuttings. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of different fractions of far-red and blue during the adventitious rooting phase of medicinal cannabis stem cuttings on rooting and whether these effects are related to changes in endogenous auxin and/or carbohydrates. Two experiments were conducted in climate chambers with sole LED lighting (blue, red, far-red) using two cannabis cultivars. In Experiment 1, four light treatments were applied: 100 µmol m−2s−1 red:blue (88:12) with additional 0, 50 or 100 µmol m−2s−1 far-red and a fourth treatment with 100 µmol m−2s−1 sole red with additional 50 µmol m−2s−1 far-red. In Experiment 2, the following four light treatments were applied: 90 µmol m−2s−1 red:blue (45:45) with additional 0 or 45 µmol m−2s−1 far-red, a third treatment with 45 µmol m−2s−1 sole red with additional 45 µmol m−2s−1 far-red, and a fourth dynamic treatment which was 45 µmol m−2s−1 sole red with additional 45 µmol m−2s−1 far-red for 7 days followed by 90 µmol m−2s−1 red:blue (45:45) for 14 days. The effects on rooting in both experiments were measured after 21 days of light treatments. In Experiment 2, periodic measurements of auxin and carbohydrates were performed. Far-red improved adventitious rooting only in Experiment 2, where both cultivars responded similarly. Adding far-red only during the initial stage (7 days) of rooting was sufficient to improve rooting, while it did not result in excessive stem elongation. The presence or absence of blue did not significantly affect rooting. Although the positive effects of far-red on auxin and carbohydrate concentrations in stem cuttings are a likely explanation for the observed effects of far-red on rooting, we did not find a correlation between auxin or carbohydrates and rooting.

    Abstract Blue light, measuring from 400 to 500 nm, is generally assumed to increase the content of antioxidants in plants independent of the species. Blue light stimulates the biosynthesis of phenolic compounds such as flavonoids and their subclass anthocyanins from the phenylpropanoid pathway. Flavonoids, anthocyanins, and phenolic acids are strong reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers and may lessen the symptoms of abiotic stresses such as chilling. We tested the hypothesis that a high percentage of blue light induces the accumulation of antioxidants and that this effect depends on the photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD, 400-700 nm). The effect may be more pronounced at a lower PPFD. We investigated the changes in primary and secondary metabolites of basil in response to the percentage of blue light (9, 33, 65, and 100%) applied either as a 5-day End-Of-Production (EOP) treatment or continuous throughout the growth cycle in the green cv. Dolly. We also studied if the response to the percentage of blue light (9 or 90%) was dependent on the total PPFD (100 or 300 μmol m

    Abstract Basil suffers from chilling injury (CI) when stored at temperatures below 10–12 °C which seems related to the imbalance between reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidants. We hypothesized that increased light intensity applied shortly before harvest (EOP, End-Of-Production) increases nutritional value i.e. carbohydrates and antioxidants and could improve the chilling tolerance. Two basil cultivars were grown in a vertical farming set-up at a light intensity of 150 µmol m⁻² s⁻¹. During the last 5 days of growth, EOP light treatments ranging from 50 to 600 µmol m⁻² s⁻¹ were applied. After harvest the leaves were stored at 4 or 12 °C in darkness. Higher EOP light intensity increased the antioxidant (total ascorbic acid, rosmarinic acid) and carbohydrate contents at harvest. During storage antioxidants decreased more rapidly at 4 than at 12 °C. However, increased EOP light intensity did not alleviate chilling symptoms suggesting a minor role of antioxidants studied against chilling stress.

    Abstract While the use of narrowband irradiance regimes containing different blue light fractions has proven useful to unravel blue light effects on plants at a fundamental level, it does not quantify the responses to blue light under natural daylight conditions. The objective of this study is to understand the blue light growth responses by combining photosynthetic measurements with measurements of whole plant light absorption in a simulated daylight spectrum enriched with different levels of blue light. To achieve this, tomato plants were grown under six different combinations of artificial solar light and blue LED light. Light treatments were defined by the blue light (400–500 nm) fraction of total photosynthetic photon flux density (400–700 nm) and included 27 % (no additional blue LED), 28 %, 31 %, 38 %, 43 % and 61 % blue light with a total photosynthetic photon flux density of 100 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ in all treatments. Whole plant light absorption was estimated by using ray tracing simulation combined with measured 3-dimensional structure of the plant and optical properties of the leaves. The total dry weight of the plants decreased linearly with the increase of blue light fraction; the dry weight of the plants grown under 27 % blue being 1.6 times greater than that of the plants grown under 61 % blue. This large difference was related to lower light absorption by the plants when fraction blue light increased, due to more compact morphology, i.e. lower leaf area, leaf length/width ratio and shorter stem. Light-limited quantum yield and maximum photosynthetic capacity were not affected by blue light fraction. In the case of the latter, which in other studies has often been found to be positively related to blue light fraction, it may be that the blue light fraction already present in the daylight source had saturated this response. Overall, increasing the blue light fraction in a solar light background decreases growth mainly through its effect on plant morphology and light interception. It remains to be elucidated whether the responses observed using the low growth light intensity in the present study are maintained in high light growth environments more characteristic for tomato growth and production.

    Abstract The effect of light intensity applied shortly before harvest on the nutritional quality, postharvest performance, and shelf life of loose-leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. cv. Expertise RZ Salanova®) was investigated. Lettuce was grown either in a greenhouse with supplemental high-pressure sodium light (Experiment 1, EXP 1) or in a climate room under white LED light (Experiment 2, EXP 2). In both experiments full grown plants were transferred to a climate room for the End of Production (EoP) light treatments during the last week of cultivation. During EoP lighting plants were exposed to different intensities (0, 110, and 270 μmol m–2 s–1 in EXP 1; 50, 210, and 470 μmol m–2 s–1 in EXP 2) from white-red LEDs for 6 (EXP 2) or 7 days (EXP 1). Mature leaves were then harvested and stored in darkness at 10°C to study the postharvest performance. Changes in dry matter content, total ascorbic acid, and carbohydrates (including glucose, fructose sucrose, and starch) levels were determined during EoP lighting and during the subsequent shelf life as indicators of lettuce nutritional quality. Quality aspects (appearance, texture, and odor) were accessed during the shelf life as indicators of postharvest performance. In both experiments, high light intensities applied in EoP lighting increased dry matter percentage and contents of ascorbic acid (AsA) and carbohydrates at harvest and these increased levels were maintained during the shelf life. Increased light intensity in EoP treatment also extended the shelf life. The levels of AsA and carbohydrates at harvest correlated positively with the subsequent shelf life, indicating that the prolonged shelf life relies on the improved energy and antioxidant status of the crop at harvest.
